RNG stats on crafted gear is a trash mechanic

Community General Discussion

I said what I said

It’s a trash mechanic that needs to go away. I’ve crafted the 470 pants 8 times now. Crafted the gloves 6 times

And STILL do not have the ones with the stats I need.

I would happily craft them with double the materials if I could choose the stats.

Also, Expulsom, and materials like it, are trash and needs to go away as well. No one wants an un-farmable, BoP material requirement for crafts. It sucks and serves no purpose except to bottleneck your progress in professions

Just so tired of having a profession and crafting gear that’s immediately scrapped because of this poor excuse of a design. Instead of trying to increase play time with a crap RNG mechanic, why don’t you design a game people want to stick around for?

Ok rant over

Having the stats you want is a privledge only hard core, special, and pampered raiders and mythic runners deserve.

You should never have good gear handed to you on a silver platter, how DARE casuals get that only raiders deserves!

That’s one of the reasons why so many went Alchemy. Most of the other professions are borderline worthless.

Pretty sure this is changed in SL and you can use crafting materials to guarantee stats on your crafted gear. Hopefully that is good news to you.

Are you suggesting that when a hard core player crafts the same pants that the OP has been trying to craft that they automatically get the stats they want?

Don’t bother me about body Blizzard.

Warcraft crafting is a big yikes

I will take that as a refusal to defend your statement.

The topic has nothing to do with hard core mythic raiders or some fabricated conspiracy theory that mythic raiders have designed crafted gear as a gate keeper to optimally itemized gear for casuals.

The fact that you’re choosing to villainize them here is misplaced and unfair. In this specific context all players face the same rng.

Pretty sure he was being sarcastic :face_with_monocle:

That is actually. Nice to know I won’t have to waste hours and tens of thousands of gold on gear that’s immediately deleted

Shallower than a kiddie pool I see? Pity.

Maybe you should look at edits.

We have a winner. I’m a female though. >.<

I’m not the one resorting to insults am I?

The topic of this thread is in the title - “RNG stats on crafted gear is a trash mechanic”.

It’s rather simple. So simple in fact the OP reinforces his point immediately in the post:

This is how you chose to respond to it:

What about the topic of this thread has anything to do with mythic raiders?

Go on, explain it to me. I dare you.

13

Jesus, if sarcasm sends you into this, I REALLY don’t want to debate you.

No thanks.

It’s a simple question. One that is easily answered.

Don’t worry, I understand why you refuse to answer it.

It’s pointless to debate something that is already at an agreement.

Enlighten me then: what has been agreed upon?

Groan.

I’ll keep it simple.

I already agree with you on your standing on this. I never disagreed. My sarcasm doesn’t reflect what I really think. .

Can you stop with the friendly fire now?

Yeah current RNG ones which we’ve had since WoD? Are trash.
The amount of times you just get the same worthless combo that isn’t really usable by any spec of that armour type is just…urgh.

At least WoD had the grinding stones to reroll stats, but they never guaranteed that it wouldn’t be a previously rolled stat combo lol.
So you would just be like vers/mastery, vers/mastery, vers/mastery, mastery/vers, vers/mastery lol.

Hopefully the new conception should be a lot more deterministic and better in general.

That would be nice.

Oh that sounds like some serious back tracking. You do understand what my stance is in regards to your post in this thread correct?

That’s a nice emergency exit.

If that truly was the case, then why not just post what you really think?

How about this? Keep keeping it simple and explain to me the point of your post.

Just write it out. No more obfustication; tell me what you meant.

If it is “I was just joking” then say so and I will know everything I need to know.

Dude it was sarcasm, and he even told you it was… but thanks for derailing my thread because you don’t want to admit it went over your head.

Just stop. We’re here to discuss how trash current professions are. So stick to bashing Blizzard’s designs plz and thank you :octopus::blue_heart:
